Those guns must be as rare as hen's teeth!

The gun is called a Sturmgewehr 44, literally meaning "storm rifle," and is the first "modern assault rifle ever made, eventually replaced by the AK 47 in 1947 by Russia,...

:lol: Really? Where'd they get that from? Well, East Germany probably had Sov rifles, but the AK47 didn't "replace" the StG44.

Er, you DID read the story in the link? What would the IWM have to do with this find, even IF they were offered it; the gun was found IN the USA??

Besides, the IWM has plenty of Stg.44's already
